Yes, a real computer takes the place of one of the directors. He was there to voice "opinions that are not obvious to people".

His name is Validating Investment Tool for Advancing Life Sciences (or just VITAL). The technology that underlies it has already been used to make investment decisions in two startups and licensed to Aging Analytics UK.

As Dmitry Kaminsky, senior partner at DKV, says, the fund's management was fascinated by software capable of diligently analyzing historical data in order to notice important trends that people do not see. "We plan to embed the data obtained with successful investments into this software so that it can give advice on our further investments," Kaminsky says.
